Anti-Semitic radio priest is publicly humiliated as a hypocrite.

>[Coughlin](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/59/CharlesCouglinCraineDetroitPortrait.jpg) had a special hatred for [Morgenthau](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e4/Henry_Morgenthau%2C_Jr.1947.jpg) [**US Secretary of Treasury**]. In 1934, after Coughlin had shrieked to his large radio audience against Jewish traffickers in silver, the Treasury Secretary humiliated him by issuing a list of the largest silver owners in the United States. >To Coughlin’s horror, it included the name of his personal secretary, who, by investing the ample cash that Coughlin took in from his listeners, had become the largest silver investor in Michigan. >Coughlin publicly declared that Morgenthau’s “investigation smells to high heaven.” ___________________________ **Source:** Beschloss, Michael R. “A Hell of a Hubbub.” *The Conquerors: Roosevelt, Truman, and the Destruction of Hitler's Germany, 1941-1945*.
